InDesign relink and update picture

Can I relink a picture in InDesign and update it in one go?



I have a script that insert pictures. If there is a picture in the box, properies are kept and my script will:

tell document 1 of application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
relink thisItemLink to someFileReference
update thisItemLink
end

The undo-buffer will read: undo update, undo relink [...]

That is correct, but to the user, running the script is considered "one operation", and may be undone. However Command-Z will undo only the 'update' and keep the 'relink'.

To the user the undo seems successfull - the preview changes back to the original picture, but the link is still pointing to the undone file, and will be silently replaced at next update. (Undo twice works, but is not ideal.)

Can I get this done i one undoable command?
